Filling device for the partially automated filling of waste containers and method for operating the filling device

Abstract

Filling device (16) for the partially automated filling of waste containers (10), preferably box-like and open at the top, in particular box-like waste containers (10) that can be handled by a forklift truck, with a base area of ​​a maximum of 1.2 m x 1.2 m, preferably 1.0 m x 1.2 m and / or a filling volume of a maximum of 1.2 m³, specifically REKO® boxes, wherein the filling device (16) is designed to receive and fill at least two waste containers (10) that can be arranged in the filling device (16) with waste, in particular screenings or grit from sewage treatment plants, agricultural or food production waste, wherein the filling device (16) is configured such that the waste containers (10) can be fed into and out of the filling device (16) one after the other, in particular automatically, wherein the filling device (16) has at least one waste feed element (30),which is connectable to an external discharge pipe (14) for the waste, wherein the waste feed element (30) is assignable to at least one of the waste containers (10) received in the filling device (16) for filling this waste container (10) with waste, wherein the filling device (16) is designed such that the waste feed element (30) is displaceable with respect to the received waste containers (10) and / or the received waste containers (10) are displaceable within the filling device (16) with respect to the waste feed element (30), so that the assignment of the waste feed element (30) to the waste containers (10) received in the filling device (16) is selectable between the received waste containers (10) and thereby the waste containers (10) can be filled with waste one after the other by means of the waste feed element (30), characterized in that the filling device (16) is further designed toThe filling device (16) is designed to automatically seal waste containers (10) that are at least partially or completely filled with waste, at least temporarily, with a container cover (12), in particular a lid or a film, in a substantially fluid-tight manner, at least during and / or immediately after filling, and in particular to subsequently discharge the waste automatically. The filling device (16) has a superior hood element (24) configured to simultaneously seal the at least two waste containers (10) received in the filling device (16) in a substantially fluid-tight manner, at least temporarily. The filling device (16) has a hood lifting device (36), wherein the hood element (24) can be temporarily displaced horizontally and / or vertically from the waste containers (10) received in the filling device (16) by means of the hood lifting device (36), so that the waste containers (10) that can be covered by the hood element (24) can be inserted and removed more easily.In particular, waste containers (10) filled with waste can be ejected from the filling device (16) immediately after filling, sealed with the container cover (12).
